'''Dylan Keith Summers''' (born [[July 13]] [[1973]] in [[Morgantown, West Virginia]]) is an American [[professional wrestler]] best known by his stage name '''(The) Necro Butcher'''. Primarily wrestling for [[Combat Zone Wrestling]] in [[Philadelphia]], Summers also competes in [[Full Impact Pro]], [[Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South|IWA-Mid South]], [[Pro Wrestling Guerrilla]] and [[Ring of Honor]], among others.

Summers is well-known for his willingness to participate in a creative and dangerous mix of [[hardcore wrestling]], deathmatches, and brawls.

==Wrestling career==
In 1998, Summers made his professional wrestling debut after teaming with Aaron White to take on Victor Pain and Canyon. Summers, enlisted in the [[United States Army]], continued to work small independent shows across Texas as "Private Dylan Summers", later changed to Sanders. On March 16, 1999, as Necro Butcher, he won his first professional wrestling championship, after defeating Damon Richards to become IHW Hardcore champion. Butcher's popularity continued to dominate Texas wrestling, and at his debut in TCW, he defeated rival Joey Diego to become the company's Hardcore champion. His success in TCW came to a halt after a dispute with its promoter. He lost the Hardcore title to Hellhammer before leaving the company. Butcher continued to build up his reputation as the most violent Death Match wrestler in Texas. On October 10, 1999, Butcher faced [[Kevin Canady|"Mad" Man Pondo]] for the first time. He would face Pondo again in JCW (Juggalo Championshit Wrestling) in a Death Match in 2003. Another match in JCW included a "Light Tube" match from the 2003 Gathering of the Juggalos where he squared off against "Hollywood" Chuck Hogan ("Death Dealer" Tommy Starr in a Hogan-like zombie mask).

===IWA Mid-South===
Throughout 2001, Butcher had worked IWA Mid-South in an attempt to make a name for himself in the top independent leagues. Becoming a regular across the NWA promotions, Butcher gained widespread visibility in 2002. In July 2002, competing in IWA Mid-South, he defeated Mark Wolf, Mitch Page, [[2 Tuff Tony]], and finally Spyder Nate Webb to become the 2002 [[IWA Mid-South King of the Deathmatch|King of the Deathmatch]]. Necro would go to the finals in the 2005 Strong Style Tournament, defeating Eddie Kingston and B.J. Whitmer, but losing to Chris Hero.

In 2005 and 2006, Necro had two high profile matches against both [[Samoa Joe]] and [[Low-Ki]]. He lost to Joe in their first match, the main event of IWA's debut in the [[ECW Arena]]. He then went on to lose in January 2006 again to Joe. Three months later, in Low-Ki's second match in the promotion, he took out Necro. The two met in a rematch in December, where the stipulation was a tap out/knock out finish. Although Necro lost all four matches, his star remained high after taking a lot of abuse from both Joe and Ki.

In the summer of 2007, at IWA MS Point Proven in Philadelphia, Necro and his frequent tag team partner "Mister Insanity" Toby Klein (aka The Tough Crazy Bastards) battled and were defeated by Lo-Ki and Homicide. The TCB were accompanied to the ring by "HalfBreed" Billy Gram.

Necro eventually won his first IWA gold, the Death Match title, on September 9, 2007 in [[Sellersburg]], [[Indiana]] in a three way dance against [[Corporal Robinson]] and Tank. He would lose the title on March 1st, 2008 to [[Danny Havoc]].

===Combat Zone Wrestling===
His success in IWA-MS lead him to become a name attraction for hardcore oriented indy promotions in [[North America]]. For Combat Zone Wrestling, Butcher worked a program with [[Matt Prince|Wifebeater]], losing to him in the first Tournament of Death in 2002. Butcher returned the following year and was eliminated in round two by [[Ian Rotten]]. He reached the final at the 3rd annual Tournament of Death before finally winning Tournament of Death 4 by defeating [[John Zandig]] and [[Nick Gage]].<ref>[http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/czw/040724.html Online World of Wrestling<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref name=dec12>[http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/czw/051210.html Online World of Wrestling<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> This victory made him the only person ever to win both the King of the Deathmatch and Tournament of Death. After this, he feuded with Nick Gage, John Zandig, and [[Justice Pain]] and fought them in a losing effort in the Cage of Death match.<ref name=dec12/> He briefly held the Ultraviolent Underground Championship when the current champion Zandig presented him with the belt at Tournament of Death IV: Butcher had eliminated Zandig from the tournament. Butcher and "Mr Insanity" [[Toby Klein]] teamed as "The [[Tough Crazy Bastards]]" to win the CZW tag belts from The H8 Club, Nick Gage and Justice Pain. They subsequently dropped them to The Kings of Wrestling, [[Chris Hero]] and [[Claudio Castagnoli]].Throughout the course of 2007, Necro along with Toby Klein was often accompanied to the ring by "HalfBreed" Billy Gram, a manager known as The Leader of Cult Fiction. The men became embroiled in a fued with the Maven Bentley Association. This fued would culminate at CZW's Cage of Death 9, in December of 2007,...where in the main event Team CZW (Necro, Toby Klein, Drake Younger and Danny Havoc accompanied by Billy Gram) defeated Team MBA (Brain Damage, DJ Hyde, Scotty Vortekz and Diehard Dustin Lee).
Throughout the course of 2008, Necro engaged in a feud with former CZW Junior Heavyweight Champion Danny Havoc in which he has taken on a "Hollywood Hogan" type persona, after his part in the upcoming movie “The Wrestler” with [[Mickey Rourke]], claiming he is too big for hardcore. Accompanied to the ring by [[Nick Berk]] aka Nicky Benz and the other members of The Nicky Benz Entertainment Group,...Bruce Purcell, Eric Aronofsky and Dr. J. Lee DeGood (aka The Hellaware Assassin). The NBEG's appearances were accentuated by a series of Hollywood videos, showing the stable's extravagant lifestyle and attitude. Two of the videos were two high quality parodies "The Civil War" starring Dylan Summers as every single participant,...and "The GodButcher" featuring "Don Necro-Leone" in a spoof of the Coppola films.

===Ring of Honor===
Necro first wrestled in the [[Ring of Honor]] promotion in 2006. He came in as part of [[Chris Hero]]'s invasion of the company, representing CZW. He had several big matches, including being part of Team CZW in the Cage of Death match at Death before Dishonor IV. His last appearance was in a [[Barbed wire match|No Ropes Barbed Wire Match]] against [[B.J. Whitmer]].

He returned to ROH in September 2007 at ROH's third pay-per-view [[ROH Man Up|Man Up]], as part of debuting stable '''[[The Age of the Fall]]''' with [[Jimmy Jacobs]], [[Tyler Black]] and [[Lacey (wrestler)|Lacey]]. With barbed wire around his arm and fist, the three attacked [[Briscoe Brothers]]. Later that night he was responsible for the end of two matches. First, he threw a chair into the ring, hitting [[Jack Evans]] as he was wrestling Tyler Black, and then he broke up an ensuing Six Man Tag Team match after punching the referee.

In early October 2007, as a result of the incident at Man Up, Butcher won two back-to-back [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|Anything Goes Matches]] against [[Briscoe Brothers|Jay Briscoe]]. Since then Butcher has been featured in a number of high-profile 'brawling' and hardcore-style matches, including a loss to [[Bryan Danielson]] in a 'Relaxed Rules' match, losing to [[Jack Evans]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|No Disqualification Match]], losing to [[Kevin Steen]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|Street Fight]], and a loss in a 3-Way No Disqualification Match to [[Roderick Strong]] for the [[FIP World Heavyweight Championship]]. On October 25, 2008, Necro fought [[Go Shiozaki]] for the [[FIP World Heavyweight Championship]], but lost when he and Shiozaki fought to a double count-out. Afterwards, The Age of the Fall came out and assaulted Butcher.

He is currently involved in an angle where Austin Aries and the leader of the Age of The Fall, Jimmy Jacobs, are trying to make him choose between siding which each other to gain an advantage in their own feud against one another.

===Non-deathmatch accomplishments===
Outside of the lighttubes and barbed wire which gave him his fame, Butcher has also gained critical acclaim for his wild brawls and very physical "slugfests". Perhaps the most famous of these was his first match against TNA and ROH veteran [[Samoa Joe]] at the [[IWA Mid-South]] "Something To Prove" in 2005. Despite no weapons beyond a chair and a guardrail coming into play, the match was exceptionally brutal and well-received by deathmatch fans and purists alike, proving that Butcher could put on compelling matches without necessarily needing the weapons with which he was normally associated.

He also competed in the [[Chikara Pro Wrestling|CHIKARA]] Tag World Grand Prix 2005 along with Mad Man Pondo (making it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated via disqualification for illegal tactics)<ref>[http://www.hpwf.org/~chikara/results2.shtml CHIKARA Results]</ref> and has wrestled (and won) a European catch wrestling match with [[Chris Hero]].<ref name=necro>{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/n/necro-butcher.html|title=Necro Butcher's Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2007-08-12}}</ref> On April 9, 2006, he challenged for the PWG World Championship , but lost to the champion Joey Ryan.<ref name=necro/> Most recently, many promoters have taken note of Butcher's brawling skills and have increasingly begun to put him in non-deathmatch competitions with wrestlers he would not normally be paired up against. IWA-MS in particular has attempted matches between Butcher and Samoa Joe (twice), [[Homicide (wrestler)|Homicide]], [[Roderick Strong]], Chris Hero, [[Super Dragon]], [[Low Ki]] and [[Eddie Kingston]].

Butcher once wrestled in CHIKARA as part of 'Team [[World Wide Fund for Nature|WWF]]' on their February 24, 2006 Tag-Team Tournament show as CP Munk - the 'Straight Edge' Chipmunk (Acorn Free and Better Than You), a parody of [[CM Punk]] as it was a large chipmunk costume with 'CM Punk-style' markings (including a large Pepsi logo on his arm and tape over his fists with a 'X' drawn on each). He was partnered by 'Colt Ca-Bunny' (a parody of [[Colt Cabana]], Punk's tag-team partner, in the form of a rabbit costume) who was actually [[Joker (wrestler)|Joker]]. They would defeat ROH students Matt Turner & Anthony Franco in the first round, but lose to Eddie Kingston & Sabian in the second.<ref name=necro/>

Butcher also wrestled regularly for [[Full Impact Pro]], where he first gained notoriety as both a brawler and as half of a hardcore tag-team with the [[Kevin Canady|"Mad Man" Pondo]] especially in their feud for the FIP Tag-Team Championship against [[Briscoe Brothers|The Briscoe Brothers]]. Since then he had memorable matches against [[Roderick Strong]] in an unsuccessful challenge for the [[FIP World Heavyweight Championship]], and an Anything Goes match against [[Delirious (wrestler)|Delirious]].

Dylan Keith Summers (born July 13 1973 in Morgantown, West Virginia) is an American professional wrestler best known by his stage name (The) Necro Butcher. Primarily wrestling for Combat Zone Wrestling in Philadelphia, Summers also competes in Full Impact Pro, IWA-Mid South, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Ring of Honor, among others.

Summers is well-known for his willingness to participate in a creative and dangerous mix of hardcore wrestling, deathmatches, and brawls.

Wrestling career

In 1998, Summers made his professional wrestling debut after teaming with Aaron White to take on Victor Pain and Canyon. Summers, enlisted in the United States Army, continued to work small independent shows across Texas as "Private Dylan Summers", later changed to Sanders. On March 16, 1999, as Necro Butcher, he won his first professional wrestling championship, after defeating Damon Richards to become IHW Hardcore champion. Butcher's popularity continued to dominate Texas wrestling, and at his debut in TCW, he defeated rival Joey Diego to become the company's Hardcore champion. His success in TCW came to a halt after a dispute with its promoter. He lost the Hardcore title to Hellhammer before leaving the company. Butcher continued to build up his reputation as the most violent Death Match wrestler in Texas. On October 10, 1999, Butcher faced "Mad" Man Pondo for the first time. He would face Pondo again in JCW (Juggalo Championshit Wrestling) in a Death Match in 2003. Another match in JCW included a "Light Tube" match from the 2003 Gathering of the Juggalos where he squared off against "Hollywood" Chuck Hogan ("Death Dealer" Tommy Starr in a Hogan-like zombie mask).

IWA Mid-South

Throughout 2001, Butcher had worked IWA Mid-South in an attempt to make a name for himself in the top independent leagues. Becoming a regular across the NWA promotions, Butcher gained widespread visibility in 2002. In July 2002, competing in IWA Mid-South, he defeated Mark Wolf, Mitch Page, 2 Tuff Tony, and finally Spyder Nate Webb to become the 2002 King of the Deathmatch. Necro would go to the finals in the 2005 Strong Style Tournament, defeating Eddie Kingston and B.J. Whitmer, but losing to Chris Hero.

In 2005 and 2006, Necro had two high profile matches against both Samoa Joe and Low-Ki. He lost to Joe in their first match, the main event of IWA's debut in the ECW Arena. He then went on to lose in January 2006 again to Joe. Three months later, in Low-Ki's second match in the promotion, he took out Necro. The two met in a rematch in December, where the stipulation was a tap out/knock out finish. Although Necro lost all four matches, his star remained high after taking a lot of abuse from both Joe and Ki.

In the summer of 2007, at IWA MS Point Proven in Philadelphia, Necro and his frequent tag team partner "Mister Insanity" Toby Klein (aka The Tough Crazy Bastards) battled and were defeated by Lo-Ki and Homicide. The TCB were accompanied to the ring by "HalfBreed" Billy Gram.

Necro eventually won his first IWA gold, the Death Match title, on September 9, 2007 in Sellersburg, Indiana in a three way dance against Corporal Robinson and Tank. He would lose the title on March 1st, 2008 to Danny Havoc.

Combat Zone Wrestling

His success in IWA-MS lead him to become a name attraction for hardcore oriented indy promotions in North America. For Combat Zone Wrestling, Butcher worked a program with Wifebeater, losing to him in the first Tournament of Death in 2002. Butcher returned the following year and was eliminated in round two by Ian Rotten. He reached the final at the 3rd annual Tournament of Death before finally winning Tournament of Death 4 by defeating John Zandig and Nick Gage.[6][7] This victory made him the only person ever to win both the King of the Deathmatch and Tournament of Death. After this, he feuded with Nick Gage, John Zandig, and Justice Pain and fought them in a losing effort in the Cage of Death match.[7] He briefly held the Ultraviolent Underground Championship when the current champion Zandig presented him with the belt at Tournament of Death IV: Butcher had eliminated Zandig from the tournament. Butcher and "Mr Insanity" Toby Klein teamed as "The Tough Crazy Bastards" to win the CZW tag belts from The H8 Club, Nick Gage and Justice Pain. They subsequently dropped them to The Kings of Wrestling, Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli.Throughout the course of 2007, Necro along with Toby Klein was often accompanied to the ring by "HalfBreed" Billy Gram, a manager known as The Leader of Cult Fiction. The men became embroiled in a fued with the Maven Bentley Association. This fued would culminate at CZW's Cage of Death 9, in December of 2007,...where in the main event Team CZW (Necro, Toby Klein, Drake Younger and Danny Havoc accompanied by Billy Gram) defeated Team MBA (Brain Damage, DJ Hyde, Scotty Vortekz and Diehard Dustin Lee). Throughout the course of 2008, Necro engaged in a feud with former CZW Junior Heavyweight Champion Danny Havoc in which he has taken on a "Hollywood Hogan" type persona, after his part in the upcoming movie “The Wrestler” with Mickey Rourke, claiming he is too big for hardcore. Accompanied to the ring by Nick Berk aka Nicky Benz and the other members of The Nicky Benz Entertainment Group,...Bruce Purcell, Eric Aronofsky and Dr. J. Lee DeGood (aka The Hellaware Assassin). The NBEG's appearances were accentuated by a series of Hollywood videos, showing the stable's extravagant lifestyle and attitude. Two of the videos were two high quality parodies "The Civil War" starring Dylan Summers as every single participant,...and "The GodButcher" featuring "Don Necro-Leone" in a spoof of the Coppola films.

Ring of Honor

Necro first wrestled in the Ring of Honor promotion in 2006. He came in as part of Chris Hero's invasion of the company, representing CZW. He had several big matches, including being part of Team CZW in the Cage of Death match at Death before Dishonor IV. His last appearance was in a No Ropes Barbed Wire Match against B.J. Whitmer.

He returned to ROH in September 2007 at ROH's third pay-per-view Man Up, as part of debuting stable The Age of the Fall with Jimmy Jacobs, Tyler Black and Lacey. With barbed wire around his arm and fist, the three attacked Briscoe Brothers. Later that night he was responsible for the end of two matches. First, he threw a chair into the ring, hitting Jack Evans as he was wrestling Tyler Black, and then he broke up an ensuing Six Man Tag Team match after punching the referee.

In early October 2007, as a result of the incident at Man Up, Butcher won two back-to-back Anything Goes Matches against Jay Briscoe. Since then Butcher has been featured in a number of high-profile 'brawling' and hardcore-style matches, including a loss to Bryan Danielson in a 'Relaxed Rules' match, losing to Jack Evans in a No Disqualification Match, losing to Kevin Steen in a Street Fight, and a loss in a 3-Way No Disqualification Match to Roderick Strong for the FIP World Heavyweight Championship. On October 25, 2008, Necro fought Go Shiozaki for the FIP World Heavyweight Championship, but lost when he and Shiozaki fought to a double count-out. Afterwards, The Age of the Fall came out and assaulted Butcher.

He is currently involved in an angle where Austin Aries and the leader of the Age of The Fall, Jimmy Jacobs, are trying to make him choose between siding which each other to gain an advantage in their own feud against one another.

Non-deathmatch accomplishments

Outside of the lighttubes and barbed wire which gave him his fame, Butcher has also gained critical acclaim for his wild brawls and very physical "slugfests". Perhaps the most famous of these was his first match against TNA and ROH veteran Samoa Joe at the IWA Mid-South "Something To Prove" in 2005. Despite no weapons beyond a chair and a guardrail coming into play, the match was exceptionally brutal and well-received by deathmatch fans and purists alike, proving that Butcher could put on compelling matches without necessarily needing the weapons with which he was normally associated.

He also competed in the CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2005 along with Mad Man Pondo (making it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated via disqualification for illegal tactics)[8] and has wrestled (and won) a European catch wrestling match with Chris Hero.[9] On April 9, 2006, he challenged for the PWG World Championship , but lost to the champion Joey Ryan.[9] Most recently, many promoters have taken note of Butcher's brawling skills and have increasingly begun to put him in non-deathmatch competitions with wrestlers he would not normally be paired up against. IWA-MS in particular has attempted matches between Butcher and Samoa Joe (twice), Homicide, Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, Super Dragon, Low Ki and Eddie Kingston.

Butcher once wrestled in CHIKARA as part of 'Team WWF' on their February 24, 2006 Tag-Team Tournament show as CP Munk - the 'Straight Edge' Chipmunk (Acorn Free and Better Than You), a parody of CM Punk as it was a large chipmunk costume with 'CM Punk-style' markings (including a large Pepsi logo on his arm and tape over his fists with a 'X' drawn on each). He was partnered by 'Colt Ca-Bunny' (a parody of Colt Cabana, Punk's tag-team partner, in the form of a rabbit costume) who was actually Joker. They would defeat ROH students Matt Turner & Anthony Franco in the first round, but lose to Eddie Kingston & Sabian in the second.[9]

Butcher also wrestled regularly for Full Impact Pro, where he first gained notoriety as both a brawler and as half of a hardcore tag-team with the "Mad Man" Pondo especially in their feud for the FIP Tag-Team Championship against The Briscoe Brothers. Since then he had memorable matches against Roderick Strong in an unsuccessful challenge for the FIP World Heavyweight Championship, and an Anything Goes match against Delirious.
